The Journey

Welcome to SarCar

We've chased northern lights, crossed Labrador, and driven the James Bay Road. Now we're pointing the truck north — all the way to the Arctic Ocean via the Dempster Highway.

From the alpine tundra of Tombstone Territorial Park to the pingos of Tuktoyaktuk, this is 16 days of gravel road, midnight sun, and the most remote driving in Canada. The Arctic awaits.
